When one tries to simulate quantum spin systems by the Monte Carlo method, often the 'minus-sign problem' is encountered. In such a case, an application of probabilistic methods is not possible. In this paper the method has been proposed…
We introduce a Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method which efficiently simulates in a sign-problem-free way a broad class of frustrated $S=1/2$ models with competing antiferromagnetic interactions. Our scheme uses the basis of total spin…
Monte Carlo simulations are useful tools for modeling quantum systems, but in some cases they suffer from a sign problem, leading to an exponential slow down in their convergence to a value. While solving the sign problem is generically…
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations constitute nowadays one of the most powerful methods to study strongly correlated quantum systems, provided that no "sign problem" arises. However, many systems of interest, including highly frustrated…
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations provide one of the more powerful and versatile numerical approaches to condensed matter systems. However, their application to frustrated quantum spin models, in all relevant temperature regimes, is hamstrung…
The quantum Monte Carlo method on asymptotic Lefschetz thimbles is a numerical algorithm devised specifically for alleviation of the sign problem appearing in the simulations of quantum many-body systems. In this method, the sign problem is…
The Monte Carlo evaluation of path integrals is one of a few general purpose methods to approach strongly coupled systems. It is used in all branches of Physics, from QCD/nuclear physics to the correlated electron systems. However, many…
We discuss the sign problem arising in Monte Carlo simulations of frustrated quantum spin systems. We show that for a class of ``semi-frustrated'' systems (Heisenberg models with ferromagnetic couplings $J_z(r) < 0$ along the $z$-axis and…
Sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulation appears to be an extremely hard yet interesting problem. In this article, we present a pedagogical overview on the origin of the sign problem in various quantum Monte Carlo simulation…
The multilevel blocking algorithm recently proposed as a possible solution to the sign problem in path-integral Monte Carlo simulations has been extended to systems with long-ranged interactions along the Trotter direction. As an…
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods offer exact solutions for quantum many-body systems but face severe limitations in fermionic systems like atomic nuclei due to the sign problem. While sign-problem-free QMC algorithms exist and provide…
We present a new Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating quantum spin systems which is able to suppress the negative sign problem. This algorithm has only a linear complexity in the lattice size used for the simulation. A general description…
Frustrated spin systems generically suffer from the negative sign problem inherent to Monte Carlo methods. Since the severity of this problem is formulation dependent, optimization strategies can be put forward. We introduce a phase pinning…
Reliable simulations of correlated quantum systems, including high-temperature superconductors and frustrated magnets, are increasingly desired nowadays to further understanding of essential features in such systems. Quantum Monte Carlo…
Monte Carlo calculations in the framework of lattice field theory provide non-perturbative access to the equilibrium physics of quantum fields. When applied to certain fermionic systems, or to the calculation of out-of-equilibrium physics,…
The absence of negative sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo simulations of spin and fermion systems has different origins. World-line based algorithms for spins require positivity of matrix elements whereas auxiliary field approaches for…

Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are the gold standard for studying equilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems -- their phase transitions, ground and thermal state properties. However, in many interesting situations QMC methods…
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations, while being efficient for bosons, suffer from the "negative sign problem'' when applied to fermions - causing an exponential increase of the computing time with the number of particles. A polynomial time…
